Dreamvillian was a young mage who lived in goldshier with with his two parents and brother James. They lived happily on one of the many farms that where situated in elwin forest. His father was a simple farmer but use to be a mage of stormwind, but after a fatel accident while he was practising the arts of the arcane he promised he will never use magic again. From a young age Dreamvillian was fascinated by magic and pleaded with his father to teach him. After being refused Dreamvillian became frustrated. But by luck he found a crate of old sorcery books that where written by his father. The detail of the books where amazing and had many powerful spells in it. Ranging from balls of fire. To bolts of multiple arcane energy. With out the consent of his father the young mage practised the contents of the book behind on of the old barns that where scattered along the the green bushy terrain. At the young age of 14 he was able to throw weak balls of fire, but fire none the less. With each session his powers and understanding of the arts grew but ever so slowly.

One day dreamvillian decided to put his skill and knowledge to the test by heading over to the old jangalode mine that was inhabited by filthy mongrel kobolds, Kobolds where pesky creatures that where small in structure and seemed to be a cross between a small humanoid and a rat, Regardless of there rather pathetic image kobolds where not a force to reckon with . They tend to be equipped with mining picks and don’t take to kindly with trespassers, and if they catch you of guard can bring down the most mighty warrior with there sheer numbers and aggression. But dreamvillian was not disheartened by the stories of kobolds kidnapping little kids who don’t behave and marched down to the mine with his spell twig in hand and a ripped page from his fathers book that gave tips on how to conjure a fireball from thin air. He scouted around the mine for hours but had no luck finding a kobold straying from there fort,...

...Introduction:
It has been almost two centuries that English education was introduced in India and since then it has been playing an important role in our national life, not to mention our educational system. Most people believe that the then British rulers needed some cheap native clerks who could work in their offices much like what Lord Macaulay called “a class of people, Indian in blood and color, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect”. But I personally don’t hold this view. Even ardent patriots like Raja Ram Mohan Roy expressed that learning English would help Indians to understand the philosophical and scientific advancement of the west. Later on English became a national link language and made Indians united in their struggle for independence. It has also improved our languages and literatures to a great extent.
But after independence, the role and importance of English in our educational system as well as national life was seriously questioned by many. According to some of our leaders, English was a symbol and instrument of colonial exploitation. Hence, it should be done away with completely from our systems. In the end, wise senses prevailed and English was kept initially for 15 years as an Associate Official Language for inter-state communications and communications between the states and the centre...

English as a Global LanguageEnglish was first spoken in Medieval England, what we now know as England, by the Angles and the Saxons. At the end of the 16th century there was about 5-7 million people who talked English in England. English is now the language that is most widely used in the whole wide world. Except the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, there are a lot of Caribbean nations who use English as a first language too. I will show how and where English are used today. I will also show how this happened by writing a little around the English language’s history. English is spoken by countries as the United States, Nigeria, Australia, India and Canada caused by the British Empire, and I will show how this affected India.
The first invaders in Britain were the Celts. They arrived in year 700 before Christ, and came from central Europe and Belgium. In the years between 1700 and 1800 the British Empire was the biggest and the most powerful Empire in the world. The English empire placed colonies almost everywhere in the world.
By the year 1800, the Englishlanguage had spread all over the British Empire. The British started to form their language, and got different accents and dialects. So did the colonies of...

The story states that the Amy Tan writes of the different Englishes she uses in her life and illustrates the innumerable ways that people express themselves, depending on who they are with, and their needs.
The audience Tan is trying to reach are people that are ignorant of the fact that people like Amy’s mother who speak “broken” English most of the time know they are taken advantage of, and struggle more with social interactions. This story could be intended to immigrant people that have to take care of their parents or simply other members of their family. This novel is also designed to people who like Amy have a “language of intimacy” with their family.
Amy sometimes had to help her mother out with dealing with important people by pretending to be her and speaking proper English.

So mad he lie to me, losing me money.” Amy states that she would be very embarrassed when in this situations because she would be speaking proper English, unlike her mom.

1. Advertising is one of the most prominent and powerful uses of language.
Advertising is one of the most prominent, powerful, and ubiquitous contemporary uses of language. Its seductive and controversial quality has attracted consistent and intense attention across a range of academic disciplines including linguistics, media studies, politics, semiotics, and sociology.
The reasons for this academic interest are far from superficial. The study of advertising brings together many of the key social and political issues of our time: the new capitalism; globalization; overconsumption and the environment; cultural and individual identities; and the communications revolution. It provides insight into the ideologies and values of contemporary societies....

George Orwell’s article, “Politics and the EnglishLanguage,” explores the increasing misuse of the Englishlanguage and its possible political causes. When I first saw the title “Politics,” I was afraid to read the article. The first word of the title is such a sensitive one in my mind, since it always seems to involve argument. I also fear my knowledge about the subject is too limited, even when I translate the word into Chinese. Despite my initial discomfort, I have tried my best to use proper English and not, as Orwell terms them, “meaningless words” (p.108) to analyze the reading and more specifically George Orwell’s argument that our bad application of the Englishlanguage can be reversed. I agree partially with George Orwell in that people often make mistakes in using English, however I also think he is too harsh in his criticism and lets his personal political inclination pervades his objectivity.
In “Politics and the EnglishLanguage,” George Orwell describes several bad language habits existent in the English-speaking world today. These habits include dying metaphors, operators, pretentious diction, and meaningless words, and he mentions that those “bad habits” appear in prose construction. He states that the worst part of modern writing is making the results presentable by “gumming together...

Educators are trying to find different and new ways to help EnglishLanguage Learners succeed in their education. However they have come across many different legal and ethical conflicts that make it harder for educators to do their job in helping these learners succeed. Educators try to find ways that they can still help EnglishLanguage Learners succeed without breaking the laws. As a teacher it is your job to make sure that all of the students get an equal education given the same and fair chance at education. While laws sometimes make is hard to do this and prevent some educators for doing what they feel they should do to make sure that their students get a fair and equal education and succeed.
Schools today are being pushed to find as many ways that they can to help their English Learners become successful. Many states have taken away from the bilingual programs and have forced the children to learn English. It is true that this may be an English speaking country, but we cannot take a young child’s education away. All around the country their has been an increase in Englishlanguage learners, which is forcing the schools to help these students succeed and grow to make sure that they are keeping their numbers up. The schools and the educators must...
